The Orville tv series)


 I started watching the Orville tv series when it first launched, to be honest I wasn't expecting a lot. Written and staring Seth Macfarlane of Family Guy fame. Sadly films and series staring the writer have a nasty habit of being terrible. The Orville is different, it works, and it works well.
 The idea is a sort of Star Trek spoof, but in fact while having some comedy especially in the early episodes it's turned into a proper science fiction show that stands on it own, with good stories.

Waynes rating 8/10 well worth a watch if you like science fiction.

Red Dwarf last ever series??? (spoiler alert)


 The week saw the end of series 12 of Red Dwarf. The series has been different is a few ways but over the last two episode we've had sort of "flashbacks" of the first ever series, it's a bit like the series is paying homage to it's origin before it stops.
 We've seen Lister back in his first uniform and back in the setting we first see him in episode one of the first series, munching a pie with a cigarette in his ear.
 We have Rimmer back in his original uniform, Holly back, Captain Hollister returned, and lastly the old sleeping quarters.
 I hope it's not the end of Red Dwarf. But if it is goodbye and thanks for the laughs.

Yeah the boys from the dwarf!!!
